Description

Dako Autostainer instruments: Autostainer Link 48, Model AS480; Autostainer Plus Link Instrument, Model AS100; Autostainer, Model S3400; and Autostainer Plus, Model S3800.

Reason

The Autostainer instrument may not have a syringe tray installed which could result in a small volume of excess buffer being applied to several slides. In addition to the syringe tray, the updated Basic User Guide will reduce the potential risk of false negative results in the case of leakage of buffer and/or reagents that may impact staining.
